How to Remove Add-Ons on PS4

This guide explains how to delete add-ons and downloadable content from your PlayStation 4. While PS4 doesn't allow for the removal of individual add-ons, you can delete the entire game and reinstall it to remove the add-ons. Don't worry—this will not erase your saved game data. If you need to reinstall add-ons, you can do so through the PlayStation Store.
